Why does my head sweat when I eat spicey foods or foods with onions?!


Question:
Answers:
the body releases endorphins, a morphine-like substance to soothe the burning sensation.

nerve endings are activated by capsaicin, and they conduct information about pain and temperature. Capsaicin makes them inform the brain about pain and heat. The brain then turns on your sweat glands and makes you yell 'yee-owch!'

Other Answers:
They act as a stimulant, and raise your bodies temperature. I get the same thing after I eat some chili.
